Resolution No. 22140
Page 2
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The City Council independently reviewed and considered the
information contained in the record prior to its review of this Project and a
Notice of Exemption reflects the City Council's independent judgment and
analysis.
Section 2. Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City
Council makes the following findings:
a. The proposed planned development is consistent and in conformity with the
general plan pursuant to Sections 94.07.00 (A)(1) and 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the
Palm Springs Zoning Code.
The proposed planned development is consistent with the General Plan, which
encourages a mix of land uses in the Mixed Use/Multi-Use designation, including
multi-family residential.
b. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed planned
development district, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or
related uses, and other relevant considerations.
The site is physically suitable for the proposed project, insofar as it is vacant and
relatively flat, and provides sufficient access points for all units proposed.
C. The proposed establishment of the planned development district is necessary
and proper, and is not likely to be detrimental to adjacent property or residents.
The Planned Development District modifies setback requirements in a manner
which is conducive with the urban development sought for the area in the future.
The site is located in an area where a mix of uses, ranging from single family to
hotel, are located, and will blend with this mixed use area.
Section 3: Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council
makes the following findings:
a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and
specific plans.
The Tentative Tract Map will facilitate the sale of condominium units within the
project. The project is consistent with both the General Plan and no Specific Plan
governs the site.
Resolution No. 22140
Page 3
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are
consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The design of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the allowable uses in the
R-2 zone, and the project design meets the requirements of the zone, as
conditioned.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The site is flat and vacant. The construction of the proposed project on the site is
appropriate at this location.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The site can accommodate the condominiums proposed. The overall density of the
project is within the density limits for the R-2 zone.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The Tentative Tract Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental
Quality Act, and determined to be exempt as infill development. The site is
significantly impacted by surrounding development, trails and dumping.
f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The subdivision is designed to meet or exceed City standards. All structures on the
site will be required to meet or exceed City building codes. The project will not
cause public health problems.
g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the
property within the proposed subdivision.
There are no known public easements or access across the subject property,
therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access
through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within
the project design.
Section 4: The City Council directs staff to file the associated Notice of Exemption.
Section 5: The City Council approves Case Number 5.1159, Planned Development
District 340 and Tentative Tract Map 34729, subject to the Conditions of
